Columnist Claims Sibel Can Dropped Marriage Plans With Emir Sarıgül
A columnist says Sibel Can abandoned plans to marry Emir Sarıgül, but the couple has not confirmed they planned to wed.
Yüksel Aytuğ wrote that the pair had reportedly considered marrying abroad and that people close to them expected a wedding.
He linked her reported change of mind to claims about 5 billion lira in unrecorded money flows involving Sarıgül’s father, Mustafa Sarıgül.
Tamar Tanrıyar said her earlier comments about the claims may have influenced Can, but that explanation has not been confirmed by the couple.
Emir Sarıgül was arrested on 21 October in a money-laundering investigation; an arrest does not establish guilt.
The investigation and the marriage claims remain unresolved, and the coverage gives no next step for the couple.
Sabah columnist Yüksel Aytuğ claimed Sibel Can abandoned plans to marry Emir Sarıgül.
Aytuğ suggested allegations about a 5 billion-lira money flow involving Sarıgül’s father may have influenced her decision.
Tamar Tanrıyar said she may have affected Can’s decision through comments she made months earlier.
The reports have not been confirmed by Can or Sarıgül, and Can has not publicly commented on the claim.
Sarıgül was arrested on 21 October in a money-laundering investigation; the sources note that this does not establish guilt.

What people are saying
Perhaps I had an effect on Sibel Can making this decision.
I don’t know whether to call her lucky, well-informed or prescient, but Sibel Can’s ability to maneuver, escaping involvement in the Sarıgül affair at the last moment, surprised me as much as everyone else.
